Default Heavily modded C6s?

Where are all of the heavily modded C6s? The forged motor, stroker, head/cam, forced induction people, where are you all? Or are there only a few heavily modded C6s out there?

Post up your mod list, both current and future, dyno/track results, drivability observations, what you like/dislike, and what you would/wouldn't do again.

I wouldn't call my C6 "heavily modded", but I have gone into the motor with the addition of my cam last fall. Around here, there are still harldly any modded C6's... my current mods are:

Comp cam (.228/.232, .588/.595 114 lsa)
Comp valve springs & retainers
Dynatech Supermaxx longtube headers and X-pipe
High flow cats
Corsa Sport exhaust
Halltech Stinger and CAI
LS2 edit
i-Forged Aeros (18x9F, 19x12R)
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires
Carbon fiber fuel rail covers
Z06 spoiler!!!

I plan on purchasing a complete centrifugal supercharger kit within the next week, either Procharger or Vortech, complete with all the fuel upgrades. I also plan on porting the stock intake manifold and throttle body as well. My goal is to safely make 585 rwhp with all the the above, but I aspire to break 600+ whp...
